Would you do me a favor and show the output of zdump for this year for your timezone? Here is an example for my timezone of US/Mountain. $ zdump -v US/Mountain | grep 2007 US/Mountain Sun Mar 11 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 MST isdst=0 gmtoff=-25200 US/Mountain Sun Mar 11 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 MDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-21600 US/Mountain Sun Nov 4 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 MDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-21600 US/Mountain Sun Nov 4 08:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 MST isdst=0 gmtoff=-25200 What is the output for your timezone? I believe this will be useful information in understanding what is happening. Please remember to keep the bug-coreutils mailing list in the To: or Cc: list so that all may participate in the discussion.
